To all the books I've loved before, a tribute

Yes, I stole that title from Jenny Han's book but I don't care! I haven't read it and I have no idea whether I want to or not but I guess time will tell! I've read a lot of books and some of them just lie on shelves or some I've forgotten. This is a letter type thing to all the books I've loved before, and still doDear Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling, you got me through some rough times, some
tough times and you helped me grow up. You were there with me every step of the way and for that I'm glad, I loved growing up with Harry, Hermione, Ron, Ginny and Dumbledore, you made my childhood what it was.

Dear Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher, we've spent quite a lot of time together and you've been in my life when times where tough and I really needed you. You taught me that it's okay to be sad and you got me to accept that life isn't fair and life is life. You simply can't do anything about it other than live it. You gave me valuable life lessons and made my life better.

Dear The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown, you were my first thriller, my first mystery and my first reread. I've loved you for a long time and we've been together so many times these past years. You taught me that a book doesn't have to be read and then put on a shelf for the rest of its days, you taught me that reading a book multiple times is marvelous.

Dear A Monster Calls by Patrick Ness, you are breathtaking and wonderful. Our time together was glorious. Yes, there was tears, but there was also smiles and a lot of other emotions.

You helped me realize a lot of things about myself and you taught me to do random acts of kindness for strangers. You've helped me see my way in life clearer and you made me realize that needing help is not a sign of weakness and asking for that help isn't a sign of weakness either. I thank you for all your lessons.
